Breast Cancer Awareness
Did you know more than 50 per cent of breast cancer survivors report they have been affected by depression or anxiety after their breast cancer diagnosis?
The Breast Cancer Network Australia (BCNA) and beyondblue: the national depression initiative have launched a new Depression and Breast Cancer Fact Sheet to provide information about the issues and where to get help.
The Depression and Breast Cancer Fact sheet, available through Breast Cancer Network Australia or beyondblue, gives practical advice on dealing with depression.
To obtain a copy of the fact sheet contact Breast Cancer Network Australia on 1800 500 258 or visit the website bcna.org.au
